degrees of freedom and glm

Mon, Apr 2, 2001 10:29 AM

To glm-experts

Is there a simple way of counting degrees of freedom when modeling
interactions with a lot of empty cells?

I am thinking of an example of McCulagh & Nelder where glm gives df=13
but there is only scope for df=10 due to empty cells.

best regards
